Rhode Island Overtime Rules
Rhode Island pays overtime after 40 hours a week at 1.5×, with no daily overtime. Rhode Island is also one of the few states that still requires 1.5× premium pay for many retail workers on Sundays and holidays — separate from overtime.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- Sunday & holiday premium: many retail and commercial employees earn 1.5× for work on Sundays and listed holidays, on top of the overtime rules.
- No daily overtime or double time under Rhode Island law.
Rhode Island's Sunday/holiday premium is unusual and easy to overlook — it applies to the day worked, not to weekly hours. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training enforces it.
The Rhode Island minimum wage is $15.00/hour (tipped minimum $3.89). Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
